Once the blank app opens, you'll need to select the first layout in the list of template layouts.

The first step in this process involves building a blank app from scratch using the Tablet Format. Let's break down the 4 sections in a bit more detail below…

The tablet format is broken into 4 distinct parts:ġ. Summary of What Carlos Did: We started with a tablet format. Here are the three tabs shown separately, where all the controls and formulas are consolidated on a single screen of a tablet-format PowerApp. (FYI: We only show the Orders gallery here, but we did not configure how one would add a new order so that we could focus on the tabbed UI.) When the checkmark at the top right is clicked, the data is submit to the parent list on SharePoint. at the bottom of this blog where I share my PowerApp File, and a PowerPoint Presentation that goes into much more detail (for those that want to try this out exactly as shown below).Ĭarlos created a single page app, where users could click through the tabs, and enter data for each tab independently. Later this week I will post a Part 2 on this topic, which will demonstrate my own tabbed UI design option that would work best for mobile phones which have less space to work with.

I enjoyed learning from Carlos and documenting the steps he took to make this happen. Inspired by our SharePoint MVPs, PowerApps Engineering Manager Carlos Aguilar Mares offers this really practical design for PowerApp business form designers looking for a 'Tabbed User Interface' to save space on a wide format application.
